Explanation:

Water is generally regarded as universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds.

A water molecule has partial positive and negative charges on it thus, it is a polar compound.

  • The binding rule for substances to dissolve one another is that they must be like one another.
  • Polar solutes or substance only dissolves in polar solvents. Non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar solvents.
  • Water is polar and ionic substances are polar too.
  • In water, the positive end of a salt is completely surrounded by water molecules and they hydrate it. The same analogy goes for the negative end.
  • This is called hydration.
  • The hydration complex keeps the salt dispersed in the water.
  • This why water is able to dissolve a broad range of substances.

An online article that your professor asked you to critique states that African Americans cannot contract malaria, even if they
motikmotik

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Regarding the situation explained in the question that "African Americans are not affected by the malaria disease because of a specific genetic trait that they possess and that trait provides them with protection" can be explained by the answer given in option B.

Being heterozygous, meaning possessing a dominant and a recessive allele regarding that genetic trait, in terms of sickle cell trait which is a gene that causes the individual's blood cells to be sickle shaped and balanced polymorphism which means carrying two different versions of a gene is an argument that is enough to prove that the above statement is incorrect because it means they have blood cells that can be affected by the malaria disease.

I hope this answer helps.

Por qué algunos fosiles son similares a especies actuales
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

La evidencia de un antepasado común en los seres vivos, que han encontrado durante décadas científicos que trabajan en numerosos campos, demuestra la descendencia común de estos seres, que la vida en la Tierra se desarrolló a partir de un último antepasado universal, que la evolución existe y que puede demostrar los procesos naturales que han dado como resultado la biodiversidad de la vida en la Tierra. Esta evidencia apoya la síntesis evolutiva moderna, la actual teoría científica que explica cómo y por qué cambia la vida a lo largo del tiempo. Los biólogos evolucionistas han documentado evidencias de antepasados comunes realizando predicciones verificables, probando hipótesis y desarrollando teorías que ilustran y describen sus causas.

What type of cell helps to stimulate b cells to produce antibodies?
valentinak56 [21]
The correct answer is helper T cells.
<span>The helper T cells are one of the main cells of the adaptive immune system. Their role is to help the activity of other immune cells by releasing T cell cytokines and they are required for almost all adaptive immune responses. The helper T cells activate B cells to secrete antibodies, stimulate macrophages to destroy ingested pathogens, and help in activation of cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells.</span>
